German detectives have solved the mysterious case of a young girl murdered 15 years ago and say a dead neo-Nazi is her killer.

Peggy Knoblach. who was just 9 years old when she vanished in 2001, disappeared on her way home from school, triggering a national manhunt.

The little girl’s body was finally found by mushroom pickers in July, not far from her home.

Now, cops say DNA testing has made a positive match with Uwe Boehnhardt, a notorious neo-Nazi, pegged as her killer.

Boehnhardt, part of the violent National Socialist Underground (NSU), and his cronies murdered nine foreigners and a policewoman during their reign of terror. In 2011, he killed himself as cops closed in.

Surviving gang member Beate Zschaepe is on trial for her alleged role in the slayings. On the stand, she darkly hinted she has information about the little girl’s slaying.

The trial of Zschaepe, a porn star-obsessed neo-Nazi called the “Nazi Bride” by German media, has enthralled the nation.

Lurid details about her sexual antics have made front page headlines, even though she has denounced her past.

She has been described by prosecutors as a manipulative genius who sexually dominated the far right thugs she enchanted.

“The violence, the violent lust, the sexual desire and the booze merged in this group,” political scientist Professor Hajo Funke told the Daily Mail, adding that their hideouts had a “sexually charged atmosphere.”

And Zschaepe was obsessed with a German porn star called Sexy Cora, who died of a heart attack during breast enlargement surgery.
